““You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

A light bearer can be fancy and ornate or simple and practical. The examples in the pictures today were displayed at Brookgreen Gardens and range from an intricate metal lantern to a used water bottle. All of the light bearers pictured are beautiful, no matter whether the light is shining through in a complex or simple manner. All of them are still shining light!

On this Mindset Monday let’s each set a goal to be a light bearer for Christ this week. Let’s throw off all hindrances that cause us to feel there is a certain way we should share the light of Christ! Each of us has the same light even if the way we shine is different. God has gifted some with the ability to use fancy words while others may have a more simple but practical and direct way to share the Good News. The message may be displayed differently but it is the same message no matter how it is shared; “God loves you!”

Sometimes you may share in a detailed and intricate manner while other times you may shine as simple as a mason jar. Just shine!
